Successful retrograde embolization through the arch of cavernous arteries of a bilateral post-traumatic arterio-cavernous fistula: case report

Penile trauma is uncommon, with an incidence of 1/175,000 cases in emergency departments worldwide. Less frequent, there may be cases of penile fracture with the penis in a flaccid state and also develop vascular lesions such as rupture of the cavernous artery, pseudoaneurysms, and arterio-cavernous...

Descripción
Sumario:Penile trauma is uncommon, with an incidence of 1/175,000 cases in emergency departments worldwide. Less frequent, there may be cases of penile fracture with the penis in a flaccid state and also develop vascular lesions such as rupture of the cavernous artery, pseudoaneurysms, and arterio-cavernous fistulas. We present a case of a 32-year-old male patient with the perineum and pelvis blunt trauma after a motorbike accident with a secondary bilateral arterio-cavernous fistula treated with retrograde embolization through the arch of cavernous arteries.
